Professor's 'Catalysts for Contemplation' showing in Camden County College gallery

GLOUCESTER TWP. — Camden County College’s Marlin Gallery will present the drawings and paintings of art department faculty member Gregory Brellochs in the solo show “Immersion” starting Wednesday.

Brellochs, who has taught sculpture and design full-time at CCC since 2005, works primarily in graphite, ink and varnish. His images — which he considers “catalysts for contemplation” — explore physical, sensual and visceral worlds of the imagination while evoking a poetic fascination for the inner workings of nature and the mind.

This is the second time that Brellochs has been featured in a solo show at the college. He also has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Clay College in Millville, Center City’s AxD Gallery, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Opus One in Munich, Germany. In addition, he has shown work at Arcadia University, Bluestone Fine Art Gallery, Bucks County Community College, Moore College of Art and Design, Thomas Architects & Engineers, Wayne Arts Center and Philadelphia’s Center for Emerging Visual Artists, where he completed a two-year Career Development Program Fellowship. Past honors for the Philadelphia resident include selection to the 30th annual Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial Wind Challenge Exhibitions and addition of his two-dimensional work to the registry of contemporary drawings at New York City’s The Drawing Center.

“Immersion” will open with an artist’s reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and continue through March 2. Admission to the reception and the show is free.

The Marlin Gallery is located inside Lincoln Hall on the college’s Blackwood Campus at College Drive and Peter Cheeseman Road. Regular hours are 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. Additional hours may be arranged by contacting gallery director Therese Marlin at 856-227-7200, ext. 4201, or at artgallery@camdencc.edu.
